pete48 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share #91 Posted December 18, 2015 HI Patrick, there is absolutely No trick, the Birch that covers the Bulkheads were stained before putting them in the boat. And they are just dry fit at this time, the Door trim was glued into position after the Stain was applied. You and everyone out there have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Best Regards, Pete avsjerome2003, dgbot, Omega1234 and 3 others 6 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share #93 Posted December 19, 2015 Last Night, Before I got to carried away, I decided to seal up the inside of the Hull with Titebond 3 ( Brushed on ). When I awoke this morning I decided to paint the Bilge ( Grey ). I then ( while the paint was drying ) turned my attention to finishing up the framing for the Mast step. I then glued the Birch on to the forward Bulkhead. Next will be to finish the floor framing in the Cockpit.

Engelmann Posted December 24, 2015 Share #108 Posted December 24, 2015 Hi Pete I just found your build log and read it from front to back and it looks great I'm also a Herreshoff fan. Joel White's Haven 12 1/2 (1:1) is on my bucket list, Hope I get to build her. :rolleyes: The gaff rig is also one of my favourites. Years back I've build a 27' Black Swan also with a gaff rig, loved her and still miss her I still have the plans though, maybe a model of her one day... The funny thing is that I never considered the Buzzards Bay 14 as a model, but reading your log is giving me all kinds of ideas. Keep up the good work, she is a beauty.

Next will be to Frame the Rear Deck, I hope that everyone has a Safe New Years eve and a Fantastic 2016.

pete48 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share #116 Posted January 3, 2016 With all the Family functions now out of the way, I started by cutting out the hole in the Transom to allow the Tiller to pass thru. I then decided to add a piece of birch to the inside of the transom ( cockpit side ) and then gave the Transom more shape. I then built and installed the aft Deck. I then started on the Main deck framing. Next will be to finish the Main Deck framing and install the Deck.
